Published September 1 2026. The Financial Times is planning its 11th annual ranking of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies, known as the FT1000, for publication in March 2027. In partnership with Statista, the data provider, the FT will seek to identify the 1,000 European companies with the strongest revenue growth between 2022 and 2025.

Last year’s list was headed by Healf, a UK wellbeing online retailer, which benefited from the global boom in wellness. Fast food retailer Popeyes UK was second. Those companies that make it into the final list will be featured in a special report in the FT newspaper and on FT.com.

To participate, companies will need to provide revenue figures for the years 2022 to 2025 as well as some additional information, including headcount. Potential candidates will be contacted by Statista or can put their names forward now via their website. The deadline for entries is November 30, 2026.

To be included in the ranking, your company must meet the following criteria: Revenue of at least €100,000 generated in 2022 and Revenue of at least €1.5mn generated in 2025. Companies must be headquartered in Europe, an independent entity, and show mostly organic revenue growth between 2022 and 2025. FT and Statista reserve the right to exclude companies that have experienced share price irregularities in the past 12 months or any other event that could affect the credibility of the list.
